Consider a hydrogen-like atom such as He+ or Li++ that has a single electron outside a nucleus of charge Ze. (a) Rewrite the Schrödinger equation with the new Coulomb potential. (b) What change does this new potential have on the separation of variables? (c) Will the radial wave functions be affected? Explain. (d) Will the spherical harmonics be affected? Explain.
